APL Product Guide: Updates
Vector 10:4, page 33
Transcribed from the printed issue; not yet reviewed. Read it in the PDF of the issue, page 33
VECTOR's exclusive APL Product Guide aims to provide readers with useful information about sources of APL hardware, software and services. We welcome any comments readers may have on its usefulness and any suggestions for improvements.
Pressure on space occasionally prevents us from printing the complete guide, however updates will always be listed. We do depend on the alacrity of vendors to keep us informed about their products. Anyone who is not included in the Guide should contact me to get their free entry — see address below.
We reserve the right to edit material supplied for reasons of space or to ensure a fair market coverage. The listings are not restricted to UK companies and international suppliers are welcome to take advantage of these pages.
For convenience to readers, the product list has been divided into the following groups ('poa' indicates 'price on application'):
- Complete APL Systems (Hardware & Software)
- APL Interpreters
- APL-based Packages
- APL Consultancy
- Other Products
- Overseas Associations
- Vendor Addresses
Every effort has been made to avoid errors in these listings but no responsibility can be taken by the working group for mistakes or omissions.
We also welcome information on APL clubs and groups throughout the world.
All contributions and updates to the APL Product Guide should be sent to Gill Smith, at Brook House, Gilling East, York, YO6 4JJ. Tel: 0439-788385, Email: 100331.644@Compuserve.com
